Out of all Gojira songs, there are probably 20 better songs to recommend to a vocal coach than this.

[@Trepanation21]

Seriously. Fan comments get caught up trying to shock the creator with increasingly obnoxious songs and bands once they catch a whiff of the creator listening to something heavy. It's dumb. Gojira is a fantastic band, but there are a certainly many other songs that ought to be covered if we're attempting to explore vocal nuance within Gojira, and less-so in a live performance. Live, Gojira's strength is the instrumental and vocal *power*, it's not really an environment to explore nuance because the live delivery isn't as precise or noticeable.

[@tbone6924]

Dude...I so agree! I am a huge Gojira fan and this was not a good choice to really show off how great they are. Kinda makes me want to punch whoever recommended this particular song, then buy them a beer because they actually got Gojira on the channel. Kind of reminds me of a video here a few weeks ago for faith no more...Mike Patton is a freaking genius, but some idiot convinced Beth to react to the absolute worst song they ever recorded.

[@yotambraunshtein9786]

True

i guess beth won't do any more gojira, there's almost nothing to say about joe's vocal skillz - as you can see here.! he's just not that good (at least in live environments) that it makes sense to do a VOCAL reaction video. you all forget that it's about reacting to vocal skillz, not about reacting to your favorite bands.

Then try Be'lakor if you really think that, i'm not saying i don't enjoy Gojira, quite the opposite but there's better bands out there that make you go "wow i got into it not really expecting much but i REALLY like it" Try Be'lakor - Abeyance, Edit: No. You know what, listen to the whole album, Of Breath And Bone because it's such a masterpiece, every single track.

[@AlfredSoul]

@@kiwicami287 I just checked them out and yeah, they're pretty nice. Although heavy metal and hard rock are propably the music I listen to the most, I don't quite get the _really_ deep gutteral growl, it always sounds tryhard to me and distracts me from the oftentimes otherwise great music. There are very few bands that manage to pull it off in a tasteful way for me. Be'lakor doesn't rely on it too heavily (lol) but all in all, the music for me isn't strong enough to overpower my disliking of the now and then too "growly" vocals. I'll go ahead and listen to some more of their catalogue but at this point in time, I don't think I'll get hooked. I will have to see, I guess.

[@scottkoppinger2595]

Agreed, Saw this and was thinking, this doesn't make much sense at all for her...Love Gojira though, especially their older stuff

[@philanaemic]

BBC session of Shooting Star would have been infinitely better, as he showcases pretty much all of his vocal range in that song.

[@HeirApparentxbl]

I originally recommended the studio performance of Global Warming but she asked if I minded she did Silvera instead. I explained why I thought that wasn't the greatest choice and she asked about this song. I told her i thought it was better than silvera and here we are... Dunno why she didn't want to do my original suggestion maybe the length of the song or the fact that it was in studio and not in front of a crowd... I couldn't tell you her reasoning but man I'm just happy she took my suggestion at all and reacted to gojira period, and super happy that I got a shoutout too!

[@MrMaty121]

I think it was only a troll joke from someone. But Beth took it and didn't even know what is before her. 😂😂

Joe Duplantier is insane. As a metal vocalist I have no idea how he sings those growls with so much melody and great prononciation. And his clean vocals are also beautiful. I wouldn't classify Gojira even near to "classic death metal". It's so technical and nowadays even more progressive. Such a great band.

What stands out with Joe is his application of melody to this "shouty" growl he has. That makes him stand out in the metal scene vocally. His voice is very tired here though, and has improved technically since. He also does some throat singing!

I reckon you should do a bit of Architects, there is a decent live performance of 'Royal Beggars' on the Epitaph Records channel where he shows off his cleans and screams really well!

[@Skyhawk1998]

4:50 I think I understand what you are getting at, here. Even as a self-proclaimed metalhead, I too have this issue. A lot of these heavier metal bands tend to lose sight of the foundations of good music in favor of trying to be as brutal as possible. Some folks like that, but it becomes much more niche at that point because it transforms into raw noise more than anything else. Gojira is definitely heavy, but they also make sure that everything works well together and has a nice groove to it. I think you find this in a lot of the more successful heavy metal bands. It's still a very intense listening experience, but its not overwhelming because there is a rhythm you can follow.

[@IAmFat1968]

You're so lovely ! This song is one of the most impressive ever

[@glaznevi9185]

Gojira makes you feel so good listening to their songs because the aggressive tone yet melodic time signatures make you feel a strong sense of Catharsis. In that their “anger” (the tone they give through their music even though they aren’t actually angry) expressed through the lyrics and rapid fire drums takes away your frustrations and own stress.

Interesting that you say "relaxed within this aggressive style", as that's how I feel about a lot of the metal I listen to. Even if it's pretty aggressive/abrasive on the surface, it can sometimes transform into a wall of texture that's just nice to sink into. I got bored of metal for many years, but when I started listening more for the texture than the aggression, I started appreciating it in another way entirely. Thanks for doing metal videos, I'm trying to get my vocal chops up and am not quite confident enough to visit a vocal coach yet, so this is the next best thing :D
